Zach struggles but pulls himself outside to see the sun beginning to
set. He stumbles up a hill with great difficulty having crawled into
a bottle since hearing the news. The knees of his jeans become green
and vision more blurred. He stands in front of the sunset and falls
to his knees. He can barley breathe but every breath makes his body more and more calm. Slowly Zach gets to one knee and then he stands up fully. Then he experiences one of the most amazing moments in his life as he took a deep breath and stretched his arms out like Jesus on the cross looking at the setting sun and the trees in the distance.

"You know it's true! Are you just gonna sit on the side and get
kicked? Is that what you want?"
Zach pounds on the table as his thoughts went running through his
mind on what to do next. Just fired from the Country Side Hotel was
the last straw. His boss stepped over the line this time. First he
continuously hits on Zach's girl fiancé and tries to make him look as
bad as possible.
"SHUT UP" Zach yells to no one.
"Go to his house. It's not far just go out side. That's it, just
open the door."
"I can go on without you. I can cure my own problems..."
"So you think that I mean nothing?"
"You just assume, my jealousy and short comings are what drive you. My wife is faithful, I know deep down below your surface."
"You also know that it is possible. You can't put it out of your head that she cheated on you with Albert, the nicer, wealthier man on the block."
"Love is more powerful than envy could ever be. I love my wife. I know that she would never cheat on me."
"You can't think without me, I drive you."
"No. I am better without you. I feel clean. I don't need you!"
